What are your thoughts on these pipes guys? Are they worth the price they fetch?

Any pipers, vendors, clubs, or pipe boxes for us albertans??

Thanks for the input! Makes sense. I did have some cold ish symptoms, the smoking probably prolonged the irritated throat.

At the end of January I bought an estate pipe, cleaned it, then tried smoking it. Ever since I've been wrestling a weird sore throat that feels like a combination of a dry throat, and a sore throat. Not really thinking about it, I have been smoking all during it. Took a day off and it got a bit...

Thanks for the info! My biggest hurdle is getting it across the border. A lot of those places won't ship to Canada.

Hey guys, I'm trying to find some keychain pipe stands. Any suggestions or guys in the forum that make them?

Any thoughts on this blend? Also, does anyone know of a way for a Canadian to get his hands on it?

Does anyone have any experience with the Denicare, or Dunhill White Spot cleaning kits for pipes? I'm considering grabbing one, is it worth it to shine up the briar? It's almost worth a tin of tobacco! Haha

No kidding, I almost spat out my coffee when I realized that I'm paying $50/2oz and in the USofA its around $10/2oz. Im just nervous about how much duty I would pay per unit over my 6.

So needless to say, its difficult getting ahead of myself to store things unless I do trips to the states.

Yah, to give you guys an idea, I pay roughly $50/tin of Frog Mortons stuff, and we just got C&D here locally, for $49/tin. Crazy!

haha good to know! Im glad it happens and is ok! Theres alot of folklore out there about pipes. Ive heard that letting tobacco sit in there for an hour or more is bad for it. Glad thats not the case!

Any of you guys nurse a bowl throughout the day? Are there any rules saying I cant pack a pipe, smoke half of it, dump the ash, tamp, and save for later? Tyler

Im about three smokes in to using this method to load and light my pipe. Before I was just trying to put it in lightly, it was sort of working, but was getting bit, and not getting a ton of flavor. I found lighting slower, and this packing method, the tobacco came alive. The room notes were...

Hey guys, so in June I'll be flying to Vegas, since Im in Canada, Im planning to bring back around 6 tins of tobacco. Im using it as a chance to try some new things, and round out the collections. So im doing some research on what I want to pickup while Im down there. From what I've had so far...
